POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW-STREET. Richard Murphy was placed at the bar, on remand, charged with stealing a large quantity of leather and materials used in the manufacture of boots and shoes, the property of Mr Slack, bootmaker, 187, Drury-lane, for whom he was employed. _ _ . From the statement of the prosecutor it appeared that he had sustained great loss in his trade by the myste rious disappearance of working materials, and he had taken steps to watch the movements of some of his workpeople, in the hope of discovering the source of the mischief. On the 27th of May he bad given to the prisoner (one of his journeymen) a quantity of mate rials to make up six pairs of ankle boots, taking the usual precaution of stamping them with his name, The boots should have been completed and returned within a few days, but he never received the work. He (prosecutor) had frequently spoken to Murphy about the boots, and at length he said he had sold the materials to a stranger in the street for 15s, about half their value. 'I he prisoner was then given into custody. A man named Donoghue stated that he was with the prisoner in the month of May, and accom panied him to the shop of a Mr Miller, in Brick-lane, Spitalfields, where the prisoner sold the upper and soles of one of the pair of boots for 2s. 6d. The prisoner said he had more of the sort, and Miller said he must take the stamp name out of the leather before he could buy any more. The case was remanded, and a summons issued against Miller, who was this morning placed in the dock on suspicion of being the receiver. The witness Donoughue was now absent, and Mr Beard (who attended for Miller) elicited the startling fact that the prosecutor, since the last examination, had received £l, and a promise of ss. from Mr Murphy's friends in payment for the missing goads, which Mr Vaughan declared to be very discreditable, as courts of justice could not be used as a means of exacting compensation for stolen property, and thus compromi'ing felony. - . Mr Beard said his client was a most respectable man, and hoped ho would not be detained on the false statements of Donoghue. The charge of felony had entirely disap peared in consequence of what the prosecutor had admitted. Mr Vaughan said the admission of the prosecution only affected the charge as against Murphy, but it did not touch that part of the matter which affected Miller. He was of ~pinion that it was absolutely necessary that the man Donoghue should be present, because it was cf the greatest importance that Miller should have an opportunity of showing that the charge against him was false and mali• clone. In the event of Donoghue's refusing to attend, he should compel him to do so by summons. The prisoner Murphy was then remanded for a week, and the summons against Miller was adjourned for the same period. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. - - SENDING THREATENING LETTERS TO LORD CURZON. —John Hill was charged with sending threatening letters to George Augustus Frederick Lord Curzon, of No. 8, South Audley-street. Lord Curzon said he received a letter (produced) at his residence in South Audley-street. Sergeant Henry Beard, of the Detective Department, Scotland-yard, said he received the letter spoken of by Lord Curzon, and apprehended the prisoner that morning on a warrant on his leaving Coldbath-fields Prison. On telling him the charge was that of sending a threatening letter to Lord Curzon to the effect that he would kill him, he re• plied'; Yes, I did," and said, " I have also sent one to Lord Howe, and I intend carrying out what I have said." He then showed the prisoner the letter, and asked him if he had seen it before, and he said he had. The letters were read by Lord Curzon's solicitor, and contained most serious threats against Lord Curzon, and Lord Howe, and their lordship's agent—one threat being that he would blow out his lordship's brains. Prisoner said he declined to ask any questions. Lord Cul won said he was apprehensive the prisoner would injure him, and he felt bound to take notice of the matter. The prisoner made a long statement as to his and his father's tenancy of some land belonging to Lord Howe. Mr Knox said he could not let the prisoner go at large till his mind had been inquired into. He should remand the prisoner for 7 days, and he would put an indorsement on the sheet to that effect. The prisoner was committed to the House of Correction for breaking Lord Howe's windows about a month ago. THAMES. Tan BASTARDY LAWS.—A HARD CASE,-011 Mr Par tridge taking his seat this morning, police-sergeant Baker, of the K division, entered the witness-bcx and returned a commitment made out by Mr Paget yesterday evening. Mr William Livingston, the chief usher, said that Mr Paget passed a sentence of 14 days' imprisonment and hard labour on a man named George Logan for non-compliance with a bastardy order. The arrears due to the mother of the illegitimate child amounted to 15s, or six weeks' pay at the rate of 2s 6d per week, and the costs were 4s. The Go vernor of the House of Correction refused to receive the prisoner, and Baker discharged him. The sergeant, out of respect to the Court now returned the commitment. Mr Partridge—ls the question about receiving prisoners for non-compliance with bastardy orders in the House of Correction and Whitecross-street not settled yet. Mr Livingston—lt is not, Sir. A rule nisi was obtained some months since in the Ccurt of Queen's Bench, and it has not been made absolute. Mr Partridge—l recollect. The rule has never been argued, and there will be no settlement of the question until next term, and p2rhaps not then. I cannot do any thing in the matter. Mr Livingston said the refusal of the governors of the prisons in Middlesex to receive prisoners on commitments for non-compliance with bastardy orders was a great hard ship on young women who had given birth to illegitimate children. Fellows were very well acquainted with the state of things, and would not pay for the maintenance of their illegitimate children. Mr Partridge—lt is a great pity. Such a state of things ought not to have existed so long. Two, young women applied for warrants against the fathers of their illegitimate children, and were Wormed that it would be useless to grant them, and would be only taking money out of their pockets to no purpose to issue process. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to. day the arrival of old home grown wheat was very moderate. The trade, however, was dull, at Monday's decline in the quotations. New wheat was quoted as follows :—Red, 42s to 445; white, 46s to 48s; and Talavera, 48s to 50s per quarter. The market was fairly supplied with foreign wheat. The amount of business transacted was very moderate, yet prices ruled stationary. Floating cargoes of wheat wore in slow request, at late rates. Spring corn afloat was firm in price, A fair supply of barley was on sale for the time of year. On the whole the trade ruled steady, at full prices, Malt was in fair average request, and the quotations ruled firm. The supply of oats was very large. The trade was active for all descriptions, and prices 444 in pine instances a drooping tendency. Beans and peas were in short supply. The trade for them ruled firm, at quite previous rates. In flour a moderate kusinese was transacted, at late quo tations. A.RRIV4LB THIS WIZEK. • Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

SUDDEN DEATH IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—At the Todmorden station on Tuesday, on the arrival of the train due at 6.30 p.m., it was ascertained that it contained a gentleman who bad suddenly expired on the journey. The deceased is a G erman, named Nelson Hartwig, and he was j on his way from Hamburgh to New Y ork. Re was acaorn- I panied by a (laughter, about 22 yeara old. Death of Mr, Robson, the Comedian. With a regret, which we are sure will be shared in by most of our readers, we have to announce the death of Mr. Robson, the popular comedian, and joint lessee of the Olympic Theatre. For some considerable time Mr. Robson had been in a de clining state of health, but latterly he had appa rently so much improved that his re-appearance on the stage was confidently expected at no very dis tant date. Death, however, has put an end to those anticipations, as at twelve o'clock last night he expired at his residence, 19, Amptbill-square, near Morcington - crescent. Mr. R.,bson's success as an actor commenced from the period of his quitting the Grecian Saloon to fulfil an engagement in Ireland, at the termination of which he was engaged, in 1853, by the late Mr. William Ferro], then lessee of the Olympic Theatre. The character which first stamped Mr. Robson as an actor of no ordinary ability was his embodiment of the principal part in the burlesque of Macbeth. Such peculiar abilities h n i i s ghtly attracted to that the for impression monkh a c rh w m d a a d e w b e r y e the Olympic Theatre, but the popularity he had already achieved was greatly extended by the force and intensity he threw into the nest burl, sque attempted—viz,, Shylock. At the termination of Mr. Farrents management Mr. Alfred Wigan became lessee of the theatre, and Mr. Robson was at once engaged by the new lessee. From that period he achieved a series of successes which placed him at the head of burlesque actors, whilst his peculiarly humorous powers also made him a very eminent low comedian. Who can forget his Jem Baggs, the Wandering Minstrel, or his Jacob Earwig, or, in the more intense drama, his Daddy conjunction with M r. Emden, became lessees Hardacre ? In Aug ust, 1857, Mr. Robson, in of the Olympic, and for a considerable period his great talents were found quite sufficient to draw crowded audiences despite the A / a tt rac tions held out at the other metropolitan theatres. But his abilities were overwrought, and in obedience to his medical adviser, Mr. Robson, temporarily retired from the stage in order that he might recover that strength which his great exer tions hadiexhausted. So far had he recovered, that, in consequence of the great success of the play of " The Ticket of Leave" that he took a provincial tour, and appeared i n some of our principal towns in many of those parts which had so greatly delighted the London playgoers. Some short time ti go he returned to London, and it was thought much improved in health, but really it was not so; his painful malady again attacked him, and last night, as we have before mentioned, he expired. Mr. Robson was a genial, kind hearted gentleman, and ever foremost in lending his aid to benefit his less fortunate fellow artists.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY,—At the late meeetiag at Bishop's Waltham, on the occasion of Prince Leopold laying the foundation stone of the new infirmary, there was a laughable case of mistaken identity, with regard to official dignity and position. Two or three at the mayors who were present without being in official costume were not known to the general company and the attendants, and when the guests were assembling, one of the worthy and good-looking town sergeants of Southampton, wearing all the insignia of his civic dignity, was taken to be no less a personage than a mayor, and was invited with the most respectful courtesy to take a seat at the principal table. Be i ng som ewhat astonished at the mark of distinction which was about to be conferred on him thus suddenly, an ex planation ensued, but without being at all abashed, and preserving the most commendable sense of his high position, he said he was not at all surprised at the mistake, as he had not loag ago been mistaken for no less a personage than Jerry-bald-eye I—meaning thereby the illustrious Italian patriot, General Garibaldi.—Southampton Independent. PEOPLE'S NAMES.—There are above a quarter of a million of persons ia :England and Wales bearing the cosmopolitan surname of Cpaith, and above 45,000 per sons in Scotland. If you meet 7, persons in England, or eve n 68 in Scotla nd, y o u may ex to . find a Smith among pea . them. Ne xt to Smith there com es in each th untrY a purely l oca l name—Jone s in E n g l and and Wales, Ne ,:donald in Scotland ; in every 78 persons in Scotland is a meetioald. The next most common names in England;—Williams, Taylor, Davies, and Brown ; in Scotland, Brown occupies a very high numerical position, but several purely Scot tish names also stand high upon the list—Robertson, Stewart, Campbell, Anderson. There is a much greater clan predominance of surnames in Scotland than in Eng land. There are in both countries many surnames de rived from occupation, locality, or personal qualities; while in England in the thirty most common surnames on ly 27, in Scotland 37—the great majority—are real patronymics and truly eirnames, either in their pure un altered state, as Grant, Cameron, &c., or altered so as to express the descent, as in Robertson and Morrison, or with the Gaelic Idac. A recent examination of the birth-register of Scotland for a year showed 1 04,018 births and only 6,823 separate surnames; s o that there are more than 15 persons, upon an average, to a surname, or onl y 6'5 surnames to 100 persons. In Engla nd,a similar examination by the Registrar- General showed only 8 4 persons to a surname, or 12 sur names to 100 persons. The proportion of persons attacht d 1 to each surname would have been stia larger in Scotland, and more than double that of England, bin; f o r the immense immigration from Ireland in the last quarter of a century. In the Scottish register the 50 most common t:urnames embrace nearly 30 per cent. of all the names ol.*. the register; in England only about 18 per cent. Of the 0 most common surnames in Scotland, 32 either entirely or in the form in which they occur in Scotland may be reckoned as having originated in that country and as being peculiar to it---a very largo proportion, considering all circumstances. The remainder are common also to Eng land. The sobriquets perpetuated as surnames from a sup posed likeness to the animal creation of o ,:urse vary in England and Scotland with the langu age of sari, country. English Fox is superseded in Scotland by Tod, a very common name, having the same meaning. Bullock be comes Stott, and Crow Craw. Hogg i n Scotland is not to be traced to a pig, but a lamb a year old. Mr Stork, of the Scottish register office, from whose si x th , annual report (just issued) these statements are taken, has also had the curiosity to note the Christian names occurring upon the registers. In 3,690 entries of births of boys there were only 67 different Christian names, but among a like number of girls' there were 86. John and James greatly p re p on d era te amo ng the boys. amo n g the girls Margaret is the favourite name, but Mary is very close to it. In the Highland clans Mary decidedly prepouderates, but Margaret in all other parts of Scotland. Several names not uncommon among girls in England did not occur so many as three times in the entire Scotch list of 3,6B9—Beatrice, Clara, Emma, Julia, Lucy; and among the 3,690 boys there were not three with either of several of our common English names —Alfred, Arthur Benjamin, Frederick, Phillip, Stephen. the girls' list shows many variations from what we should find in England; there are twice as many Elspoths as Emilys, twice as many Marjorys as Louisas, fc ur times as many Euphemias as Harriets, five times as many Graces as Carolinas. By advises from Sam the price of gold is per mark and the short exchanir on London is 13.51 per £1 stcrlin . standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London and the premium on gold are quoted with such large differences that no ca cu,ations can be based on them ; but gold continues to be shipped to England. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 21 per bailie pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.271 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of t:, 17s. lcid, per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 2-1(4110 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. The Invalide .Russe publishes the following article :—" During the sitting of the 22d of July, when Lord Stratford de Radcliffe directed the atten tion of the House of Lords to the rumours concern 4 ing the restoration of the Holy Alliance, and de nounced it as dangerous for the liberties of Europe, Earl Russell very judiciously replied that present circumstances rendered the renewal of such an Alli. anee very doubtful. In this case we perfectly agree with the Secretary of the Foreign.office. We have never ceased to repeat that, although the ques tions which occupy Europe have been de bated at the meetings of the Sovereigns, yet that no treaty had been concluded; and we added that a treaty which would engage our liberty of action would only be a misfortune for Russia, who has two much to do at home to be able to interfere in the complications which might arise abroad. Events have justified us. and Lord Russell has confirmed, if not our explanations, at least our conclusions. But why did his lordship add that in Russia, in Prussia ; and in Austria it was generally admitted that these Powers constantly express the wish that the Sovereigns of Europe should unite to resist democratic movements ? This unfortunate phrase denotes that the noble lord has but an imper fect knowledge of the state of things in Russia, and once more proves the influence of prejudice even on a great mind. We will profit by the occasion to express our opinion on a subject which is generally very ill understood abroad. In Russia the words aristocracy and democracy cannot have the same meaning as in the other parts of Europe; our history, our Govern ment, our institut ions,establish between us and other nations very great differences. If we were to give a State occupied with the welfare of the masses the denomination of democrats we can boldly affirm that the Russian nation is democratic. As the Govern ment is more democratic than the people, as we have neither political nor dynastic parties, it follows from that, although we are democratic, we are in no wise revolutionary. History does not present to us an ex ample of a more complete harmony existing between a Sovereign and his nation, and our Government knows it so well that, instead of guarding itself against revolution, instead of uniting in a league with other sovereigns against an evil it has not to fear at home, it anticipates public opinion and grants greater liberties than those demanded by the masses. We see very well all that our Government has done for our welfare. The abuses disappear one by one; the forces which until now remained without use have been called into activity ; justice has taken a more regular course, and authority itself represses all arbitrary tendencies on the part of its servants. The attitu c e of the population during the late Polish insurrec tion has, besides, sufficiently proved the harniony existing between the Sovereign and his people. Let Lord Russell, therefore, explain to us the rea son why he thinks the Emperor of Russia could be induced to join the other Sovereigns in resisting the encroachments of democracy." Sow to Restore to Life in Chloroform Accidents. The " sensation" novelists, it is ,to In regretted, have now got hold of the fact, to add to their armoury of horrors. The present case is important, as the only one of a like kind perhaps restored to life in the London hospitals under such conditions; the patient was a poor married woman, otherwise in fair health, admitted to hospital, who was placed on the operating-table for a plastic operation (one of these, thanks to anmrthetics, so successfully per formed of late). The operation, which need not be de scribed, was nearly completed ; there was very considerable basmorrhage during its performance, but having watched the pulse all through the operation, one was alarmed at ils stopping and then going on again. I soon found, though I did not give the chloroform, that respiration had also suddenly stopped, with a,l the well-known signs of apnea, or what others would term it asphyxia, stoppage of breath ing, not at all embarrassed respiration, as stated in surgi cal books. The woman was exactly in that state of sus pended animation (all but dead), so difficult to describe in words without saying she was entirely dead. Death had obviouslyeet in. She appeared suddenly to be cold and white, her face like marble or that of a corpse. The striking fact in the case was perhaps this—the woman lay as it were thus dead for some minutes, just as animals do when poisoned by chloroform. No pulse, no respiration of the remotest kind ; experiment and theory suggest, if we can, in this emergency and alarm establish respiration, the remora or " stand still" of the circulation (as Mr Paget terms it) will yield, and pulse return. The Marshall Hall and Silvester methods were persistently tried in the case, still no pulse, no breathing, no animation. Everyone was dreadfully alarmed ; the magneto-electric battery was sent for by me and arranged or used as just directed. The al most instant effect, as if by magic, was what we wanted—a deep sighing drawing in of the breath! a little confusion, pardonable, but half comic, arose in the application of the battery at first, as I found I myself had become unex pectedly a kind cf galvanometer, receiving all the shocks till a German physiciaa standing by happily caught the metal lic handles with his coat tails (as non-conductors). Off and on alternately the handles were now applied about a dozen times a minute, so as to imitate the ordinary action of the diaphragm. A' each application there was a deep moaning respiration. Some quarter of an hour now had the patient thus re mained, pulse less cold, without breathing, the little tide of life ebbing fast away; indeed she was pronounced irreco verably dead; it was one of those curious and instructive scenes worth any of the impossible chloroform novel sen sation Berms that ono now reads in magazines ; the last farewell beam of feeling possibly past away--:life quite ex tinguished—tile last hour of nothingness already had lite . rally set it. The last danger of distress, * * With langour of the placid cheek, And that sad shrouded eye, Where cold obstruction's apathy— (the engorging right 'auricle, ire.), appalled one gazing mourner at least, but still the electric poles were applied, about 12 times each minute, so as remotely to imitate the stimulus of ordinary nerve action in the diaphragm. I thought at the moment of the popular idea amongst bril liant operating surgeons, that the administration of chlo roform is the merest trifle, I thought of the 200 cases of deaths recorded, so like this one. To the delight of operator and all around, a deep .sighing inspiration, and then to our utmost relief another was noticed at each break of the circle; no pulse, however, was yet pereptible, cardiac action,watched with intense eagerness ; minutes on minutes passed, which felt as long as hours; the sighs lessened; there was a moan, at the pain of the electricity or pin stuck into the diaphragm (the writer's scarf pin, as no other at the moment was available), this is mentioned to show the quickness with which these cases must be saved, or left to die; there was soon a flicker of pulse perceptible, but not till the patient was carried back to bed was the pulse entirely re-established, and not till the end of two hours was the electricity discontinued. T he poor woman had a faint recollection of a drea m of a journey to a far distant land, by rivers, gardens, and golden sunsets. I have known such a patient, a class man from Oxford, to feel he was 10 years in paradise, sitting, and walking, and conversing in an ecstasy, with Homer and Virgil, while my unclassic friend, a dentist, near Hanover-square, was only ten minutes sluicing him with cold water to bring him round, but such is consciousness of which Coleridge spoke and Shelley dreamed, and Bichat is all wonderful, and Locke is so convincing. Such is an instance of all but fatal apnea (and we have collected four other quite as re markable cases). Such is consciousness, which we can at any moment remove, but which I am quite certain we never before had such effectual means of restoring when to all ap pearance irretrievably lost, as now by our more correct rationale of the cause of death, whether in cases of drown ing, or chloroform.—Dr. Kidd on Chloroform. General Forre 6.6.10 3t ' I s Address to his Soldiers, The following api , rited and h o p e f u l a dd ress was Gene rid I orrest to the soldi ers un d er hi s issued comm yahnd Rea dcittu Y tors Forrest's Cavalry, Tupelo, tlississippi, June 28. Soldiers,—After a 1 ong and laborious campaign the Major-General commie .ding deems it an appropriate coca- Bien to address you afe w words of recapitulation, acknow ledgment, and congrati ilation. About the loth February last the campaign wb ich so ingloriously terminated at Tisheningo Creek was inaugurated. Major-General Sher man, with a large and, well appointed army, undertook to penetrate the central *envies of Alabama and Mississippi. His object was avows dly to capture Selma and Mobile, and desolate that producti .ve region of country, from which the granaries of a large t .0 etion of the Con:ederacy were sup plied. Generals S: u ith and Grierson had their duty assigned them, and Nes re to act a conspicuous part in the work' of spoliation and piracy. With a large co-operating cavalry force, thoroug: sly armed and equ i pp e d, t h ey were to descend through Nc rthern Mississippi, c arr yi ng fi re an d sword with them. On they came, like a blighti ng s i rocco . At West Point you met them. There you threw yourselves across the rich prairies, a living bulwark to stay the deso lating tide. Compared with the enemy you work but few in numbers, but every man became a hero, for all seemed impressed with the importance of the momentous struggle. You proved yourselves equal to the expectations of the country. You met the proud and exultant enemy. The result is known to the world ; you drove him howling back in ignominy and shame, broken and demoralised. Sher man's campaign was thr.s brought to an abrupt conclusion, and Mississippi and Alabama were saved. The victory was a glorious one, and with heartfelt pride the general commanding acknowledged your unexampled gallantry. This great work Was accomplished by Colonel Bell's brigade, commanded by Colonel Barteatt, Colonel M'Cul loch's and Colonel Forrest's brigades. But great as was this victory, it was not without alloy. The laurel is closely entwined with the cypress, and the lustre of a bril liant triumph is darkened by the blood with which it is pur chased. In was here that Col. Barksdale gave up his lite, a willing sacrifice upon the altar of his country, He fell in front of the battle, gallantly discharging hi s duty. Ho sleeps, but his name is imperishable. Here, t oo, fell the noble brother of the general. commanding—Colonel Jeffrey E. Forrest. He was a brave and chivalrous spirit, ever foremost in the fight. He fell in the flower of his youth and usefulness. But his dying gaze was proudly tu rne d upon the victorious field which his own valour had aided in winning. Peace to the ashes of these gallant young heroes! General Grierson, not satisfied with this test of your prowess, united with General Sturgis, at the head of one of the best appointed forces everequipped at the Yankee nation--com plete in infantry, cavalry, artillery, and supply train. They came forth with threats of vengeance toward you and your commander for the bloody victory at Fort Pillow—made a massacre only by dastardly Yankee reporters. Again you responded bravely to your general's call. You met the enemy and defeated him. Victory was never more glorious, disaster never more crushing and signal. From a proud and defiant foe, en route to the heart of your country, with declarations, both by negro and white troops, of 'No quarter to Forrest and his men,' he became as enemy beaten, defeated, routed, destroyed. You drove the boasted minions of despotism in confused flight from the battle field. 17 guns, 220 waggons, 3,000 stand of arms, 2,000 prisoners, and killed and wounded 2,000 more, are the proud trophies which adorn your triumphant banners. The re mainder are still wandering in the bushes and bottoms, for ever lost to the enemy. There were not over 3,000 of you that achieved this victory over 10,000 of tne enemy. Had you never before raised an army in your country's cause, this terrible overthrow of her brutal foe would entitle you to her deepest gratitude. Again, your general expresses his pride and admiration of your gallantry and wonderful achievements. You stand before the world an unconquer able band of heroes. Whether dismounted, and fighting shoulder to shoulder, like infantry veterans, or hurling your irresistible squadrons on the living foe, you evince the same courageous bravery. Soldiers 1 amid your rejoicings do not forget the gallant dead upon these fields of glory. Many a noble comrade has fallen a costly sacrifice to his country's independence. The most you can do is to cherish their memory, and strive to make the future as glorious as they have made the past. The smoke of your burning homesteads, the screams of your insulted women, and the cries of starving children will again nerve your strong arms with strength. Your fathers of 1766 had much to fight for, but how little and unimportant was their cause compared with yours. They fought not against annihilation, but simply to be independent of a foreign, yet constitutional and free, government. You are struggling against the most odious of all tyranny—for existence itself', for your property, your homes, your wives and children—against your own enslavement, against emancipation, confiscation, and subjugation, with all their attendant horrors. In con clasion, your commanding general congratulates you on the brilliant prospects which everywhere pervade our cause. The independence of the Confederate States is a fixed, ac complished, immutable fact. The ray of peace is glimmer ing like bright sunshine round the dark clouds. Be true to yourselves and your country a little while longer, and you will soon be enabled to return to your desolated houses, there to collect together once more your shattered house hold gods, By order of Major-General N.

Aug. 11, 186!. THE LORD LIEUTENANT.—The Lord Lieutenant, accompanied by the members of his household, proceeded to Kingstown on Wednesday merning, with the intention of embarking in the R .yal Mail steamer Leinster for Holy head. Owing to some accidental delay the Leinster had started some ten minutes before his excellency's arrival at the pier. RECENT ADDITIONS TO THE NATIONAL POR, TRAIT GALLERY.—A picture of no ordinary interest has just been secured by the directors of the National Portrait Gallery. It is the portrait of S. T. Coleridge, painted by the American artist, Washington Allston, considered by Wandsworth and other friends of the poet the most satisfacrory likeness that ever was painted of him. An engraving Was executed from this picture by Mr Samuel Cousins a few years ago. The portrait was painted at Bristol in 1811, for Mr Joshua Wade, when Coleridge was in the 42d year of his age. The artist's own testimony, given in a letter to Prof. Henry Reed, of Phila delphia, is deserving of consideration. He says, "So far as I can judge of my own production, the likeness is a true one, but it is Coleridge in repose, and, ehough not unstirred by the perpetual ground-swell of his ever-working intel lect, and shadowing forth something of the deep philoso phet, it is not the Coleridge in his highest mood, the poetic state. When in that state, no face I ever saw was like to his ; it seemed almost spirit made visible, without a shadow of the visible upon it. Could I have then fixed it on canvas I But it was beyond the reach of my art." WashingtonAllston died June 9, 1813, and was buri ed by torchlight in the cemetery of Mount Auburn, Bos ton. A good impression of the portrait of Shakspere, by Martin Droeshout., from the title-page of the 'Folio Edition of 1623, has also been added to the national collection. It undoubtedly stands f ore most among the known portraits of the bard; and th© copy thus recently secu red posse ss es some additional interest in being the pro t o t yp e from which several effective photo graphic copies were taken, both on the scale of th e or i g i nal, and in the reduc ed form as seen in Mr Lion e l B oot h' s re print of the firs t folio edition. The sum of twenty guineas was paid for it.-4thenceum. THE LANGUAGE OF COLOURS.—Tilephalansterian school, Fourier's disciples , are th e mos t p r e c ise and pos i t i v e in their opinions. They hold that violet is analoe gous to friendship, blue to love, as suggested by blue eyes an d the azure sky. A bunch of vi o lets would, theref ore , t e ll a lady's suitor that fri e ndship is all he has a right t o expect. Yellow is paternity or maternity ; it is the yellow ray of the spectrum which causes the germ to shoot. Red figures ambition (vide the planet Mars) ; the spirit of rivalry ; green, the love of change, fickleness, but also work ; orange, enthusiasm ; white, unity, uni versality ; black, favouritism, the influence exerted by an individual. Certain persons have the gift of fascinating all who approach them ; and black, which absorbs all the rays of the spectrum, is the reverse of white, which com bines them in one. Besides the seven primitive colours, grey indicates poverty ; brown, prudery ; pink, modesty ; silver-grey (semi-white), feeble love; lilac tsemi-violet), feeble friendship ; palse pink, false shame, ifec•—Dzekens's "All the Year _Round." LISBON, Aug. 10.—A rumour prevails that the Portuguese Government has decided on allowing the re-establishment of convents, but only to a limited extent, and has notified that intention to the Pope's Nuncio. The ports on the west and north coasts of France will witness, on the 18th inst., one of the highest tides of the year, especially if the wind should blow from the sea. 100 100 too 100 100 101 f 1001 I 1012 112 2 E5l 5
